Typically, our impatient mental countdown to the festive season starts in full force around the middle of September. I’d even go so far as to say that because of how excited we are right now, these are my least productive days of the year. We’d think that this year’s situation would be different given that the pandemic is preventing us from enjoying our festival plans, but that is not the case.
And there comes the need to prepare for the season.
There are several options for festival-appropriate attire, such as draped silk sarees and dupattas worn as shrugs. Here is your festive fashion lookbook for this year, then.
Cream zari-woven saree
A traditional Bengali red and cream saree appearance is usually a safe choice to make if you’re going to a Durga Puja pandal. However, since you also need to stand out from the crowd, give it a modern twist by dressing simply and going all out with your silver jewelry. In this festive outfit, a cream saree is worn with a gold and red silk blouse. But it’s the stunning, massive statement silver necklace that will really bring the outfit to life!
Banarasi Saree with an Anarkali Suit
Here’s another interpretation of the classic color scheme. This solid magenta Anarkali suit set in georgette is stunning, in our opinion. A magenta and gold Banarasi dupatta, like the one in this festive outfit, is required to complete the ensemble. Choose an updo, a pair of golden jhumkis, and ornate juttis for your feet.
Leheriya Suit Set
I believe the simplicity of this festive look is what makes it so beautiful. For a while now, Leheriya ethnic wear has been extremely popular, and this chanderi kurta and pants set is no exception. The devil is in the details, and we adore the dupatta’s subtle mukaish work. Wear your suit with a gold neckpiece or any other contrasting color that goes with the rest of your ensemble.
Bandhani Printed Set of Pants and a Shrug
The blending of prints is back again! However, as you can see, there is an excellent reason. Crop tops and palazzo trousers are the most effortlessly Indo-Western outfit combination there is. This festive ensemble includes a set with a delicate bandhani pattern. Put on a long, open-front printed shrug to complete the ensemble.
Peplum angrakha with a sharara
Can we just admire this outfit for a second? It’s so ethereally lovely, but it also manages to be really straightforward in its appeal. You only need to locate a peplum hem kurta in order to make your own fusion festive costume. Peplum style hems and angrakha style are just two details that will raise the design factor considerably. You may complete your show-stopping ensemble by pairing your Kurta with a matching pair of sharara!
